question..

Hi everyone,

My husband and I are in the beginning stages of adopting (I mean really the beginning ). I had a question though...

My husband and I are both CC and I would love some advice/stories of experience about whether a AA child has a hard time adjusting in school, etc. with CC parents while growing up. I don't think I am asking this correctly, but I hope everyone gets the jest of it. There have been comments when we mention that we are open to any race-oh well the child will have problems in school, will get teased, etc. It almost makes me feel gultiy and selfish for being open to any race (like I am willing to make their life harder or something... ). Has anyone dealt with this?

I know in our home there would just be love, but I would be worried about the outside world, I am a teacher, so I DO know how kids can be...look I am already trying to over-protect my future child......My husband is more concerned then I am about this, so any advice to would be great too!

Anyway, any advice would be wonderful!
